Art+From+Jordan

__**The Art Is Here!**__ By**: Chase H.**

The project that all social studies teachers have been waiting for is finally here! And no, this isn't just any art; it's the art that came from a whole other country! Yeah that's right, it came from a small country in the Middle East called Jordan. You may not know this, but for all the Indiana Jones fans, Jordan was the place where they shot the movie //The Last Crusade//. The Holy Grail may not be hidden there, though it's still an awesome country.The seventh graders of both Ms. Reynolds and Mrs. Connelly's class spent all of February 7th examining and noting the art pieces that made it here. We learned a lot about their culture and found that they like lots of the same things we do. They enjoy watching TV, waterskiing, and just spending time with friends. Some lucky 7th graders got their art sent there in an international switch by Cultural Connections.Congratulations to Lexi Farrell who was the lucky 7th grader to get her art sent to an international art exhibit; where one picture from each country chosen is put into a big art show for everyone to view.

Here are some pictures sent to us from the kids in Jordan:
